Katadoku Escape · Case 5
The Parliament fraud
Difficulty level: Easy
An important vote has just ended in the European Parliament when the security systems detect that the result has been tampered with. The cameras spot an impostor fleeing through the building. The recordings are incomplete, but we know they passed through eight of the nine areas and used a restricted access. The police have sealed off the building, but the impostor has managed to escape.
Reconstruct their escape route and discover where the trail ended.
Your mission
Place the numbers 1 to 8 to reconstruct the impostor’s route. One of the nine areas was not visited. The last area of the route will reveal where the escape ended.
- Each area may be visited only once.
- The route may continue to any adjacent area, including diagonally adjacent areas.
- On reaching Translation, the route must continue via the Emergency staircase to the Plenary.
